My daughter and I were treated to a complimentary stay at Harrah’s for two days, so our preparations for the big day started there. Then we made our way to the tram station where 160 people had gathered to be lifted to the wedding. There was a tad bit of trepidation in some of those around us, but we both loved the ride.
At the top, we rode a shuttle to the reception hall, which overlooked the valley below and the snow-covered mountains across the way. On the veranda, a beautiful setting for the exchange of vows had been created with orange and pink festively strewn around in the form of fans on the seats and flowers garlanded across the gazebo. The promises were made amid the silence and majesty of the Sierra Nevadas.
Dinner was wonderful in the lodge and a great time was had by all the generations, as evidenced by the jubiliant dancing that went on for several hours on the deck outside.
The tram ride down the mountain in the dark was a bit of an adventure, followed the next day by a barbeque at Pope Beach that was a total blast. The weather was wonderful on both days.
I highly recommend Heavenly for a majestic wedding and wonderful reception; just in case you’re in the market. But make sure you invite plenty of fun folks and a bride and groom as much in love as my niece and her new husband!
